Yudai Ono took a batted ball off the left side of his head in the 7th inning of Wednesday's game against Hiroshima and was diagnosed with a bruise (CT scans did not find any other damage). Ono spoke to reporters today and said he felt fine.

Kosuke Fukudome (left knee surgery) was able to work through a full practice schedule at Naruohama on Wednesday. He is scheduled to take situational batting practice at Naruohama on the 20th, assuming everything is fine. He is still shooting for a return some time in August.
